From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
I think we've seen the last of the really hot triple digit heat for the summer of '09. We have had 26 days of 100 or higher temperatures this year, so it'll be nice to bid a hot and dry summer farewell.
Temperatures this week look to be at their warmest on Tuesday and Wednesday when they climb to the low to middle 90's. Other days are cooler, around 90, or upper 80's.
We have a very slight chance for rain on Monday, with another chance for thunderstorms Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friday is the day when more of our viewing area will be affected by rain.
Overnight lows transition to the mid to upper 60's, another sign that Fall isn't all that far away.
I hope you have a great week !!
Randy

Nice Weekend Ahead:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet out there this morning across the Big Country. Very nice and cool after the rains last night. Abilene officially recorded 0.31" with the storm yesterday evening but some areas got a whole lot more. Our forecast today still calls for an isolated storm or two with the outflow boundaries still in the area from the storms yesterday. Otherwise today expect a partly cloudy day with highs in the lower 90s. Tonight will be mostly clear with lows into the lower 60s. Weather at the Big Country football stadiums look ok tonight for the kick-off of high school football for the area.
* Weekend Outlook: Pleasant weather ahead for the area as the northly flow will help ease back temperatures into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Very confortable at night with lows into the upper 60s (so most of us can give the a.c. a bit of a break!). We can thank another weak front for helping bring some of the cooler weather. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions.
* Next Week: Another system/front will work into the area early next week and will bring rain chances back into the area for Monday. Temperatures will not change much as we will remain in the upper 80s/low 90s for highs and overnight lows into the 60s.

Slight Rain Chances Return, Cooler Temps. Ahead:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet this morning with temperatures into the 70s. Expect clouds to slowly return as the go through the day today with highs still hot into the upper 90s and lower
100s. Just like we saw yesterday afternoon across the northeastern counties, most of the Big Country could see some isolated late day thunderstorms try to pop up. Better rain chances will come later tonight and tomrorow.
* The high pressure area is building westward today. This will return a a northerly flow to Texas which will allow a weak cold front to move into Big Country tonight and into Thursday. With the front in the area, we will see a better chance for some showers and isolated storms. We'll keep a slight chance for storms in the forecast until at least Friday.
* Weekend: A very nice weekend ahead for the area as the northly flow will help ease back temperatures into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Very confortable at night with lows into the upper 60s (so most of us can give the a.c. a bit of a break!). Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions.

More Heat Most of the Week
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
We finished up the weekend with a high of 100 in Abilene on Sunday. We should equal, perhaps top 100, Monday and Tuesday as well.
Temperatures will remain hot Wednesday and Thursday, but should be below 100 (mid to upper 90's) as a cold front arrives by Thursday.
Friday and Saturday, afternoon highs in the low 90's look to dominate, even more relief.
The chance for rain this week is slim to none Monday through Wednesday.
I've added a slight chance for thunderstorms on Thursday and a 20 to 30 percent chance Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Expecting Rain To End the Week
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
We have to contend with another hot day on Thursday but Friday should be cooler due to more clouds and rain.
A cold front is on the way - should ease into the Big Country late in the day Thursday. In advance, temperatures warm to near 100 degrees in the Abilene area.
Storms are possible in the late afternoon but more likely during the overnight Thursday into Friday. The time between 10pm Thursday and early afternoon Friday are the best times for rain in our area.
After that, we get back to a seasonal weather pattern .... hot days, warm nights and dry through early next week.

Increasing Rain Chances:
Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Another very quiet morning across Abilene and the Big Country. Very warm and humid out there angain this morning. An area of showers and thunderstorms is to the north across Oklahoma. There is an outflow boundary from the storm complex that will drift southward across North Texas into the day. This boundary, along with daytime heating later this afternoon could fire off a stray shower or storm across the Big Country, mainly north of I-20. Highs this afternoon into the upper 90s, with some areas approaching 100° again. Tonight we'll drop down to the middle 70s with mainly clear conditions.
* Front arrives on Thursday here in the Big Country. With the front in the vicinity, will go ahead and include a slight rain chance for late Thursday, with the best chances on Friday for Abilene and the Big Country. Highs will ease back into the middle 90s over the weekend with lows at night into the middle 70s.

Isolated Storms Now Possible
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner .... updated at 1:53pm Tuesday....
An outflow boundary (small cold front) from Oklahoma thunderstorms made its way into the I-20 corridor around noon today, forming clouds along the boundary.
As afternoon heating continues, it is likely we will now see some pop-up showers and thunderstorms. Any storm which develops will contain gusty wind, brief downpours and lightning strikes. Activity should end with the loss of daytime heating, around sunset.
Wednesday looks breezy and hot with a high of 98.
Thursday, another cold front approaches and I believe will actually move into the Abilene area in the afternoon, so I'm inserting a 30 percent chance for Thursday afternoon thunderstorms, some of which will bring heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds.
The storms should carry over into Thursday night and Friday morning before ending or moving south by Friday afternoon, leading to a dry weekend.
Of interest is our long range forecast model trending to much cooler (80's) temperatures and rain around September 1st.

Also it will be quite humid today and heat index values could range between 100-105° at times this afternoon today. Tonight we'll drop down to the middle 70s with mainly clear conditions.

Summer Heat Persists
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Temperatures near 100 will be common most of this week as August heat keeps its grip on us.
A weak front is expected to drift into the area late Thursday into Friday so a slight chance for rain will be in the forecast from Thursday night through Saturday, but nothing widespread is expected at this time.
In the tropics, the remnants of Claudette is making for a wet Monday across the Deep South.
In the central Atlantic, Ana is having a hard time strengthening but Bill is a full-fledged hurricane, forecast to track toward Bermuda and not affect the U.S.

Hit & Miss Storms This Weekend:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather this morning with what storms that are out there across South Texas and out across New Mexico. Hit and miss thunderstorms are possible later today once we get the daytime heating going along with the humid conditions. The best rain chances today are to our south and out west.
* Hit and miss isolated storms will be possible this weekend as upper level low lifts from the Southwest US toward the High Plains. The best rain chances will be to our west but with the low nearby we'll keep a slight rain chance in place. Highs should remain near average into the middle 90s and lows in the lower to middle 70s. The best rain chances should be to our west most of the weekend and early next week.

Isolated Storms Stay in the Forecast
Expect a few thunderstorms each afternoon and evening, usually ending by sunset or a little after. This trend will last through early next week.
A few storms may briefly become strong with high wind, dangerous lightning and brief heavy downpours.
Temperatures will range from the low 70's in the morning to mid 90's in the afternoon through the early part of next week.
We're also watching the tropics. While Texas isn't expected to be affected, Florida and the East Coast of the U.S. may be dealing with a hurricane around August 23rd.

A Storm or Two Possible Today...
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather this morning in the Big Country but will keep an eye on an outflow boundary that is working southward across the South Plains from another thunderstorm thunderstorm complex that has been working this morning between Amarillo and Lubbock. I think the boundary should drift more toward West Texas than our area. What is left of the storm complex could bring some isolated rain to the northwest counties later this morning before it dies out.
* Hit and miss thunderstorms are possible later today once we get the daytime heating going along with the humid conditions. The best rain chances today are to our south across the Concho Valley and down toward the Edwards Plateau. Highs into the middle 90s and lows in the lower 70s.
* Hit and miss isolated storms will be possible this weekend and early next week. Highs should remain near average into the middle 90s and lows in the lower to middle 70s. The best rain chances should be to our west most of the weekend and early next week.

More Hit 'N Miss Storms
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
Afternoon showers and storms were already underway by 1:30pm across Coleman County dropping heavy rain in the city of Coleman. By 2:30pm, showers and storms were becoming more numerous in eastern Brown County, western Comanche County, all of Mills County and southwest to San Saba County.
The storms are developing along an old front and will continue to develop and die out during the course of the afternoon and evening.
We stand a chance in Abilene of seeing the hit and miss afternoon pop-up storms today and again Thursday. Friday, the western part of the viewing area has a slight chance for some afternoon storms.
This weekend, I've included some hit and miss storms again - then again early next week.
The main threat from afternoon summer storms will be dangerous lightning strikes, brief heavy rain which could lead to localized flooding and high wind gusts near the storms.

Isolated Storms Possible Today:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather this morning but will keep an eye on an outflow boundary that is working southward across the South Plains from a thunderstorm complex between Amarillo and Lubbock. Most of this activity should stay well to our west.
* Frontal boundary still in the area so isolated thunderstorms are possible later today once we get the daytime heating going but I don't expect it to be as widespread as we say yesterday. The best rain chances today are to our south. With the front in the area will keep rain chances in the forecast until Thursday. Highs will drop back a bit into the middle 90s and lows in the lower 70s.
* Warmer and dry weather for late week and into the weekend for the Big Country. Highs in the middle to upper 90s and lows in the middle 70s. Models bring another rain chance into the forecast by early next week.

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather this morning but will keep an eye on an outflow boundary that is up in Oklahoma and will make it into North Texas later today. This boundary could kick off an isolated thunderstorm across the Big Country later today. Otherwise partly cloudy today with highs near 100° in most areas.
* A cold front will arrive late tonight and early Wednesday. This front will help increase the chances for a few isolated thunderstorms across the area. So will keep rain chances in the forecast until Thursday. Highs will drop back a bit but will quickly warm back up by the end of the week.

Slight Chance for T-Storms Tuesday
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Another weak cold front will ease ever so slowly into the Big Country Tuesday evening or Tuesday night and that should cause some showers and thunderstorms.
The front will linger Wednesday meaning another chance for mainly afternoon storms.
Plus, with our high pressure ridge pushing back to the west, we are opened to a northerly flow. In other words, the upper level wind blowing clockwise around the high, causes our winds to be from the northwest in the upper levels. Any storms which develop in the Texas Panhandle or eastern New Mexico will tend to move our way.
Temperatures will be hot again Tuesday with upper 90's but we should see a few degrees relief, into the low to mid 90's on Wednesday and the mid 90's Thursday thanks to more cloud cover and, hopefully, rain.

Here We Go Again !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
The heat will be consistent this week and while not likely triple digit, it will be close and even after cooling a few degrees toward the end of the week, it will only cool closer to normal, middle 90's.
I put rain in the forecast for late Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday and Wednesday night.
A cold front in the Texas Panhandle will drop to the Red River Tuesday and with upper level winds from the north, it would tend to push any storm that develops to the south.
The chance for rain only 20 percent at this time.

A Tad Cooler This Weekend:
* Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* The ridge continues to build eastward across Texas with above average temperatures expected for Abilene and the Big Country. Daytime highs will range between about 98 and 102° today with highs in the middle 70s overnight. Highs will still be near 100° on Saturday. Expect a mostly sunny sky each afternoon and mostly clear conditions overnight.
* The ridge drifts eastward this weekend. The ridge will be set up over the Mississippi River Valley so we should see our daytime highs drop back some into the middle 90s over the weekend. New data this moring has the high moving back westward next week so highs will climb back intot the upper 90s later in the week. Models are still hinting at isolated showers late weekend and into next week. I still have low confidence on these so not going to include in my forecast package.

Friday: Mostly sunny, 99-102. South wind 10 to 20.

High Settles Over West Texas:
* Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* An area of showers and storms stretches from Wichita Falls to the DFW Metroplex this morning and is slowly drifting southwest toward the northeastern areas of the Big Country. This activity will slowly weaken and we shouldn't see any activity in the area this morning. The high pressure area is settling right over the area and also the atmosphere will be capped so don't expect any rain.
* The ridge is settling over West Texas with above average temperatures expected for Abilene and the Big Country. Daytime highs will range between about 99 and 102° today with highs in the middle 70s overnight. Highs will still be near 100° tomorrow. Expect a mostly sunny sky each afternoon and mostly clear conditions overnight.
* The ridge drifts eastward this weekend. The ridge will be set up over the Mississippi River Valley so we should see our daytime highs drop back some into the middle 90s. Model runs this morning are trying to hint at some spotty showers this weekend and early next week since high but confidence is low so I'm not going to include in my forecast package other than a brief mention once again.

Even Hotter Thursday and Friday !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
High pressure is on the move from New Mexico to the east. As it moves over the Texas Panhandle on Thursday, it will bring us our hottest temperatures of the week, low 100's expected.
By Friday, the high pressure heat-maker moves to near western Tennessee, still bringing hot air to the Lone Star State and, in particular, our area.
With the high east of us by Saturday, and with a lot of luck, a weak upper level disturbance will move from southeast to northwest by late Saturday into Sunday. This may be good for a few spotty showers during the afternoon heat.
Temperatures won't be quite as hot over the weekend, closer to normal which is 95 this time of year.
We should also see a few more clouds around this weekend and early next week.
The spotty showers are in the forecast Sunday and Monday.

Triple Digit Heat Returns:
* Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* The ridge is centered over New Mexico and will continue to build across Texas the next few days with above average temperatures expected for Abilene and the Big Country. Daytime highs will range between about 98 and 101° the next few afternoons and overnight lows between 73 and 76° overnight. Expect a mostly sunny sky each afternoon and mostly clear conditions overnight.
* The ridge will continue to build eastward this week and into the weekend. By this weekend, the ridge will be set up over the Mississippi River Valley so we should see our daytime highs drop back some into the middle 90s.

Out on a Limb ...
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Everyone loved the rain and cooler weather so much last week, the requests are pouring in this week for similar conditions. So, I've looked high and low for some rain and, quite honestly, it doesn't look good. However, I have added a slight 10 percent chance for isolated showers this weekend. This would be very spotty and hit and miss activity, nothing significant, but possible as a weak low pressure trough develops between two areas of high pressure. This trough is an area where showers can develop as it moves from the southeast to the northwest across the area. Again, it's a long shot but hey, I'm trying to bring the rain back.
Until then, hot and dry is the rule of thumb with mornings lows from 70 to 75 and daytime highs around 100.
Take care, thanks for reading !!

No rain chances are expected for the next seven days for the Big Country.

Summer Heat Returns - Ready or Not
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
When we have below normal temperatures and rain, like last week, it's easy to forget that we still have plenty of summer left. And we're not through with 100 degree days just yet.
Highs in the upper 90's, with a few 100's, can be expected through at least Thursday. Highs in the mid 90's should carry on through the weekend.
I don't have any rain in the forecast at this time through the next seven days.

Summer Heat Returns:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Ridge to our west over New Mexico will build this week across Texas bringing an end to the recent rainy weather trend we've experienced. Each day this week to be mostly sunny with highs ranging between 97 and 101° with overnight lows in the middle 70s. The ridge will slowly drift across the state this week. Above normal temperatures but it doesn't look too opressively hot and records look to be safe.
* By the weekend the ridge will begin to set up across the Mississippi Valley and we should see temperatures drop back into the middle 90s for the Big Country. Still looks to be dry for the weekend.

Turning Down The Rain Chances & Turning Up The Heat:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* No thunderstorms in the Big Country this morning. The overnight complex developed a litle further south and is moving through Southeast New Mexico and the Permian Basin and West Texas this morning. These storms are moving southeast away from the Big Country and down toward the Concho Valley and Edwards Plateau.
* Mostly cloudy this morning then becoming partly cloudy today with highs in the lower 90s. It will be quite humid and expect one to two thunderstorms to pop up in the area later today. Models develop a complex of storms to the north and west again tonight so will mention rain in the forecast for tonight with lows in the middle
70s.
* Weekend: Partly cloudy and humid with isolated thunderstorms possible for Saturday and early on Sunday. Highs will climb into the middle 90s and lows in the middle to lower 70s.

More Storms Expected Tonight
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
The storms this morning packed a punch as they moved through - high wind being the main severe weather parameter. Numerous tree limbs were downed around the area. In Potosi, a carport was left twisted and mangled.
Will we see more storms? I believe we will, late this afternoon, tonight, and once again on Friday morning, possibly Friday afternoon. And we will even have enough moisture and instability around this weekend that isolated storms are possible during the afternoon heat both Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures near 70 tonight, near 90 Friday, near 73 Friday night, near 96 on Saturday and Sunday.

Thursday Morning Forecast Update:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quick update as I am running a little behind getting the forecast package for Abilene Today ready due to the severe weather. Complex of showers and thunderstorms will continue to move eastward and southeastward this morning. As of 4:30 AM, the severe threat has pretty much shifted east of the viewing area but a few strong storms and some heavy rain in areas remain possible.
* A frontal boundary dropping into the area will fire off more storms later today across the Big Country during the day today, especially if we see some peeks of sunshine later on. There is a slight risk for severe weather today, mainly south of Interstate 20 with the main threat being damaging winds. Highs today between 85-90.
* Another complex of storms is forecasted to develop to the north and west and roll into the Big Country overnight tonight and early on Friday morning. Heavy rain and strong storms are possible. Lows tonight in the middle and upper 60s.

Rain in the Forecast
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Monday Afternoon Update: Rain will stay in my forecast each day this week. Timing of disturbances will be the main forecast issue. We won't see rain constantly, probably about once a day for most areas, but the majority of the KRBC viewing area should get wet at one point or another this week.
I'm going with a 30 percent chance for rain Monday night, 20 percent Tuesday, 40 percent Tuesday night and 40 percent Wednesday with around 30 percent the rest of the week.
It's going to be hot and humid again Tuesday and very muggy with warm temperatures the rest of the week.

A Rainy Week Ahead
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
We have numerous chances for rain and thunderstorms all this week, starting tonight and continuing through Friday. By the end of the week, most of the KRBC viewing area will have received beneficial rains.
While we should see storms Sunday night and Monday, they won't be as numerous on Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday are the two days when we stand the best chance for showers and storms, some which may produce locally heavy rain. We could see some flash flooding situations as we get to the middle of the week.
As for "when" they can happen, just about anytime. Storms will be more prevalent from evenings through overnight and into the early mornings. A few storms may also briefly become severe with high wind the primary threat.
Stay tuned to KRBC for weather updates or check our blog and website, www.bigcountryhomepage.com.

Quick Warm & Dry Pattern, Rain Next Week:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Scattered showers have developed across the Big Country this morning thanks the low level jet across the region. So through mid-morning, there could be a few sprikles in spots, othewise cloudy. As we head into the midday and afternoon hours, the low level jet will weaken as the ridge takes control. Clouds will break and temperatures will warm up into the lower and middle 90s. Lows tonight in the lower
70s.
* The ridge will remain in control of the forecast into Saturday as well pushing temperatures into the upper 90s under a mostly sunny sky. The ridge will shift back westward Sunday which will put the Big Country back under a northwesterly flow. This will allow a weak front to drop down here by Sunday which will help get an isolated storm or two going Sunday and Monday.
* Next Week: The northwesterly flow will help complexes of storms to form over Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. These complexes will drop south and southeast in the mean flow which means more rain for the area. Also cooler temperatures expected once again in the lower 90s.

Warmer and Drier Next Two Days
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
A few showers were lingering around the area Thursday afternoon, and a few showers may develop into the evening, but this round of rain is just about over.
The next rainy spell, however, is just around the bend, with showers possible again as early as Sunday.
Temperatures Friday and Saturday will be warmer than they have been the past couple of days. I'm forecasting 93 on Friday and 99 on Saturday. Saturday should be our hottest day for a while.
Sunday, a cold front approaches from the north, so a slight chance for rain returns but temperatures should still make at least 90 degrees.
By Monday, with a front in the area and upper level disturbances dropping in from the north, we stand a better chance for thunderstorms on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
That being said, it appears July begins on a very hot note but ends with below normal temperatures and rainy weather, which we need.
A few showers were lingering around the area Thursday afternoon, and a few showers may develop into the evening, but this round of rain is just about over.
The next rainy spell, however, is just around the bend, with showers possible again as early as Sunday.

The best rain chances will be this morning but there could still be a few isolated showers or a thunderstorms later today. Pretty much cloudy today with some sunshine peeking out by late afternoon. Highs in the lower to middle 80s thanks to clouds and rain but if sunshine come sout a bit early, a few spots may creep toward 90. Lows tonight in the middle 60s with partly cloudy conditions.
* The weather pattern will chance slightly for Friday and Saturday as the ridge out west starts to push a bit eastward bringing us much warmer weather. With mostly sunny conditons, highs will climb into the upper 90s. The ridge will shift back westward and rain chacnes will return for Sunday and early next week.

More Welcomed Rain
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner.....
I'm writing this update at 3:10pm on Wednesday and watching Triple Doppler radar continue to show a line of thunderstorms stretching from Lubbock to Sweetwater to south of San Angelo, marching east.
Storms will affect Abilene and the majority of the KRBC viewing area throughout the evening. Locally heavy downpours in some storms may produce flash flooding. The main threat from the storms is heavy rain and gusty wind but no tornadoes are expected.
After off and on rain tonight, we should see a gradual decrease in rain early Thursday then transition into a couple of typical summer days Friday and Saturday, hot and dry.
By Sunday, another frontal system approaches form the north, clouds increase, chance for rain returns by Sunday and temperatures drop again as a result.
Wednesday Night: Rain likely, mid to upper 60's.
Thursday: Morning rain, then partly cloudy, high near 90.
Friday: Mostly sunny and 96.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, 97-100.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, slight chance for rain, low to mid 90's.

More Thunderstorms & Cooler Temperatures:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Scattered showers and thunderstorms this morning across eastern New Mexico and far West Texas will work their way eastward and southeastward this morning. Most of the rain from this complex should be across the western counties but we will mention rain chances for today across all the area. Another (and probably the best chance) round of storms will move across the area tonight and into the day on Thursday. Expect a mostly cloudy day with cooler temperatures in the middle to 80s today and tomorrow and lows in the upper 60s.
* The weather pattern will chance slightly for the end of the week and the early part of the weekend. With mostly sunny conditons, highs will climb into the upper
90s. Another cool down by late weekend and early into next week with scattered storms again possible.

Still Looks Rainy !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
I can get used to hearing thunder and smelling the freshness of rain to start my day everyday. It has been nice to see our drought plagued area getting some much needed rain and feeling some temperatures that aren't too bad for this time of July.
I'm keeping rain in your forecast Wednesday and Thursday. Like we've seen in past days, there should be an area of thunderstorms develop in eastern New Mexico or Texas Panhandle Tuesday afternoon and move south into our area overnight, with the western counties of the Big Country more in line to see the best chance for rain.
We also have a cold front draped roughly along I-20 this Tuesday afternoon which can also serve as a focal point for storms.
The front, combined with another uppper level disturbance, should bring our best chance for rain and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night across the majority of the Big Country. The rain will continue into Thursday before ending by Thursday night.
Temperatures will stay below normal Wednesday and Thursday, in the upper 80's, but warm back to the 90's Friday and Saturday.
I'm going ahead with a good chance for storms again on Sunday through next Tuesday.

More Storms This Morning & Afternoon:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to drop south from Texoma, the South Plains and the Red River Valley and into the Big Country this morning. Expect cloudy intervals this morning with clouds breaking some this afternoon. A few isolated storms are possible later this afternoon and tonight. Highs today in the lower 90s with lows tonight in the upper 60s.
* Expect daily rain chances into at least thursday. Looks like the main threat will be storm complexes dropping in from the north and northwest. There will also be a weak front in the area late Tuesday and Wednesday. Drying out and turning a bit hotter by weeks end before another cool down by the late weekend.

Rain Lingers in the Forecast
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....
I loved the weather today !! Are you kidding me? Temperatures in the low 80's!! Rain !!
It doesn't get much better than this in July. And the good news (for most) is that the rain stays in the forecast through Thursday.
The pattern we're in will lead to a daily and nightly chance for thunderstorms. The ones in Abilene Monday morning brought another .14 of an inch of rain. Flood advisories were issued for heavier downpours in Coleman and Brown counties. I think the rain will try to come to an end on Thursday, at least for a couple of days. But I'm seeing signs of another rainy pattern trying to set up for early next week, so I'll be tracking that for you all this week here on Bigcountryhomepage.com.
Temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday should continue to be below normal and our chance for rain stays at 30 percent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Storms possible both night and day.

Scattered Storms:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to drop southeastward from the South Plains and into the Big Country this morning. Scattered storms will pop up in random locations across the area this morning ahead of the storm complex moving in from the South Plains. Expect cloudy intervals this morning with clouds breaking some this afternoon. A few isolated storms are possible this morning and tonight. Highs today in the lower to middle 90s with lows tonight in the lower 70s.
* Expect daily rain chances into at least Wednesday night. Looks like the main threat will be storm complexes dropping in from the north and northwest. There will also be a weak front in the area late Tuesday and Wednesday. Drying out and turning a bit hotter by weeks end before another cool down by the late weekend.

Rain Chances & Cooler Weather This Weekend:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited....
* Pattern change here for the weekend. Temperatures will drop back into the lower
90s this weekend with overnight lows in the lower 70s. As the ridge has slipped westward slips westward, the clockwise flow around the high will bring a northerly to northwesterly flow across the area. This pattern brings a weak cold front into the area tonight and early Saturday.
* Rain: The front will help enhance rain chances for the area. Also, a moisture axis that is to our east will shift westward with the high shifting west and with that axis over Texas, storms will develop in the afternoons. The models are also indicating that complexes of storms will develop over the high plains and drift into the area during the overnight hours. Overall message here is much needed rain chances for teh area through the middle of next week.

Looking Forward to Some Relief from the Heat !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
The daily beat-down of heat is going to stop for a few days, but temperatures will remain warm.
FRIDAY - Temperatures should still approach the century mark, even with a weak cold front running east-west along and north of I-20. South of the front, temperatures in the low 100's will happen one last day. A few hit and miss showers are possible in the afternoon heat.
FRIDAY NIGHT: I'm going with a 30 percent chance for showers to pass through the area during the overnight, some locally heavy.
SATURDAY: More hit and miss showers and thunderstorms, a 40 percent chance, with highs only around 90.
SATURDAY NIGHT: More scattered showers and storms, a 40 percent chance.
SUNDAY: High near 92 with a 20 percent chance for storms.
MONDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY: A daily 20 percent chance for storms with highs in the 90's, not 100's.

Cooler Temperatures & Rain Chances Ahead:
Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited....
* The ridge is slowly drifting away from Texas but still have a last little bit of influence in our forecast.. Expect sunny to mostly sunny conditions the next two days with highs in the lower 100s and still very warm and uncomfortable at night with lows in the middle 70s.
* Pattern chance ahead for the weekend. Temperatures will drop back into the lower 90s over the weekend with overnight lows in the lower 70s. As the ridge slips westward, the clockwise flow around the high will bring a northerly to northwesterly flow across the area. This pattern should help bring a weak cold front into the area toward the weeekend.
* Rain: A northerly to northwesterly flow returns as the ridge moves out west which will help the front arrive by Saturday. This front will help enhance rain chances for the area. Also, a moisture axis that is to our east will shift westward with the high shifting west and with that axis over Texas, storms will develop in the afternoons. I've added rain chances for Saturday - Wednesday.

Ready for a Change !!
From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Based on my conversations with many folks that I meet from day to day, the general concensus is "we're tired of the hot weather and we NEED SOME RAIN". Of course, we usually always need more rain in these parts.
Well, I have good news. I'm forecasting cooler temperatures starting this weekend AND a chance for rain. Instead of highs in the low 100's, highs on Saturday will be closer to 90.
Instead of no rain in the forecast, we have a 30 percent chance on Saturday and will keep a 20 percent chance Sunday through early next week.
The reason for the change is a shift in our upper level pattern. The high pressure causing the heat will leave Texas, head west and take up residence near the Arizona/New Mexico border. This will allow systems from the north to drop south into our part of the state, meaning cooler weather and a chance for rain.
